Math is an essential skill for many jobs, and one that's rightly emphasized at every level of education. But some people don't have the knack or inclination to study it and certainly don't want to spend their workdays doing long division。

對(duì)很多工作來(lái)說(shuō)，數(shù)學(xué)是一項(xiàng)很重要的技能，而且它也是每個(gè)教育階段的重點(diǎn)。但有些人就是不擅長(zhǎng)或者不喜歡學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)，當(dāng)然他們絕不想在日常工作中解決一堆數(shù)學(xué)問(wèn)題。

For those people, we took a look through the Occupational Information Network (O*NET)， a U.S. Department of Labor database of detailed information on hundreds of occupations, to find high-paying jobs where math skills aren't important。

為了給這類(lèi)人找到不太看重?cái)?shù)學(xué)能力的高薪職位，我們?yōu)g覽了職業(yè)情報(bào)網(wǎng)(Occupational Information Network，簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)O*NET)，這個(gè)網(wǎng)站上有美國(guó)勞動(dòng)部收集的各種工作的詳細(xì)信息數(shù)據(jù)。

Based on extensive surveys and data collection, O*NET ranks the importance of math skills in a given job — defined as "using mathematics to solve problems" — on a scale of zero to 100, with 100 signifying that math is very important. For example, statisticians have a math importance rating of 97.

通過(guò)大量的調(diào)查和數(shù)據(jù)收集，職業(yè)情報(bào)網(wǎng)根據(jù)對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)能力要求的高低程度，把以下的職位排了序——所謂數(shù)學(xué)能力就是“使用數(shù)學(xué)技巧解決問(wèn)題”——分?jǐn)?shù)范圍是0-100分，100分說(shuō)明數(shù)學(xué)能力對(duì)這個(gè)職位極其重要。比如說(shuō)，統(tǒng)計(jì)員的數(shù)學(xué)能力要求是97分。

We pulled out the jobs where you won't need to do much math, but you can still make a nice living. The average household income in the United States is $51,017. These are median salary figures, so those with experience can earn substantially more. They're ordered by where O*NET scores them on the importance of math skills。

我們將幾乎用不到數(shù)學(xué)的工作列出來(lái)了，選擇了這些工作的你依然可以過(guò)上小康生活。美國(guó)的平均家庭收入為51,017美元。以下列出的都是平均工資水平，所以有了工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人其實(shí)可以拿到更高的工資。下列是職業(yè)情報(bào)網(wǎng)根據(jù)對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)能力要求的高低程度，對(duì)工作進(jìn)行排序的結(jié)果。
